In this video, we’re going to examine three of the worst disasters in human history. Frustratingly, two of these seem to have been entirely preventable, if not for a series of mistakes made by the people involved. Then, in contrast, the third story required a once-in-a-lifetime natural event to occur for what eventually transpired. Either way, in each of them, the effects were beyond devastating.

I lived in the next valley to Aberfan, and some of my neighbours were retired miners who had responded to the alarm. The initially thought that it was an accident at the pit, when they arrived, of course the true nature and horror of what had occurred was evident. One elderly man told me how they desperately tried to get the kids out. It was heartbreaking. He was in tears, and this was 25 plus years on. The mine operators were told the spoil was moving and they did nothing. They put profit over people. It's so sad when you go there, so many little lives cut short in a horrific way, and no one was held accountable. The Aberfan disaster is a scar that still hasn't healed.😢

@fractiousfauxpas1368 2 месяца назад

Honestly you could do a series on the Welsh mining disasters, especially when you consider how negligent the mining companies were. Sengenydd is another one that springs to mind. The most fatal mining disaster in UK history. I'm sure the north of England has their fair share of stories as well. Even down to the manipulation of the miners. Paying in "tokens" that could only be cashed in at stores and small companies owned by the mine effectively creating a slave force as the mine company never had to hand over a penny to its workers. They became so greedy and made up pretty much all the non-regal wealth across the country. I can't speak for the rest of the country but certainly Wales, any grand building was pretty much a product of a rich mine owner.

@fractiousfauxpas1368 2 месяца назад

@@chendaforestI've not claimed the whole industry here. We're talking about specific mining villages. To not pay someone a monetary wage may as well be slavery. They had housing and shops provided by the mine with their own faux currency system. So any amenities were provided at the discretion of the mine. This meaning if the workers kicked up a fuss, the mine could take away literally everything from them, leaving them little to no rights they just had to be thankful for a roof and food and they couldn't leave because they had no money backing them. I'm sorry but that is effectively just a convoluted form of slavery. Some towns were better off than others where money could still be sent but not all.

@chendaforest 2 месяца назад

@@fractiousfauxpas1368 Whilst the miners were often treated badly we should be very cautious about making such claims of slavery. They could not be bought or sold and had rights as citizens. Life on say a slave on a plantation in the American south was the real slavery (some slave owners argued they treated their slaves better than factory owners treated their workers and at a peverse level they may have had a point)

Else we won't have a roof over our heads or food to eat, as there is no alternative. When the going gets tough for our governments they freeze our bank accounts, lock us out of grocery stores, airports, train stations, take away our firearms rights, penalize us for commuting and heating our homes by increasing carbon taxes, and on and on. They distract us with mind numbing social media, television, bad news, fear, youtube, and netflix.

This is the first place I have ever seen anyone talk about the Wellington disaster. I've visited the area for day hikes, and seeing the old foundations of the town, and the slowly decaying snow shed there is eerie. And midway along the snow shed, there is a memorial to those who perished, listing their names. Staring at that memorial while standing in the gloomy light of the snow shed is an almost otherworldly experience.

The tornado was not survivable, with a 100% above ground mortality rate. Not even Joplin was guaranteed death if caught in it's path. Yes, Joplin was larger, and killed more people. But it didn't dismember the people trying to shelter in their homes.

@jasonshaw3605 2 месяца назад

Your timing of the cascade disaster is actually perfectly timed. In March here in 2024, similar conditions exist as were present back then. All winter, we had only had 1/2 of our average total snowfall in the Washington Cascades. However, by the end of this first weekend in March and in only the past two weeks, we will be back to our average snowfall total for the season with an unusually cold end of February. During this time, we had a day or two where, for a half a day, temperatures suddenly increased significantly, causing rain in the mountains before just as quickly dropping again and snow to returning. Having lived in the northwest my whole life, this is normal. Each winter, warm, wet air from California and the Pineapple Express plays a 24/7 chess game with Arctic air making its way down from Alaska and moisture just off the coast of the Pacific. This dance between rain and snow makes avalanches normal and something governments watch around the clock, closing highways triggering avalanches, clearing them and reopening the highway all while each year more of the highway is covered by tunnels and changed to decrease further disruptions. In case anyone is wondering, Artillery shells fired from canons or dropped by helicopter are used to cause the controlled avalanches.

@ranjapi693 2 месяца назад

Same here in austria. Controlled explosions. Spring is the worst time for avalanches here, snow melts, freezes, new snow comes , creating different layers. Sun comes out, making snow "soft" and here we go.

It’s “scary” how “Interested” I am.. but seriously get hyped when he goes “As always, viewer discretion is advised” ( Subscriber from Nov ‘23 , binged on each video )

Pleeeeeease keep the disaster series going!! Of the channels doing this kind of content, yours is absolutely at the top.

That snowshed from #1 is accessible from Iron Goat Trailhead and is an easy & incredible hike. Really interesting and somewhat creepy, seeing nature reclaim the decaying structure. You can still go inside some of the tunnels as well... so cool! Great spot for Halloween photos

I don't know how many times im going to have to come into these comments and say that I speak for EVERYONE when I say WE DONT WANT THE AI ART IN THE THUMBNAIL!

@bloodyneptune 22 дня назад

You definitely dont speak for everyone. I could care less what a thumbnail looks like. If the title sounds like something Id like, Ill watch it. Genuinely, who cares? You're not watching the thumbnail, you just click it. Do you _really_ care about an image you see for 3 seconds?

@Ray-kg4dh 22 дня назад

Yeah... you definitely don't speak for me.

Definitely interested in this series. Thank you! The Belmont Mine Disaster (Tonopah NV) would also be a good topic.

I was hoping you’d cover some of this stuff as it’s very interesting, obviously horrible but you do a great job at breaking it all down!

Great video, as a Brit I always enjoy when you cover tales from the Uk. Wales has been through some awful disasters, very sad.

As an avid new listener I got to say this gentleman's skill of being able to intricately describe things to set a scene seamlessly for a listener is just top drawer 🏆. So glad you're on Spotify so I can listen and learn why carrying out tasks. Thank you.

I'd really love for you to go over the Hawks Nest Tunnel, I don't think it's ever really covered enough. It's incredibly heartbreaking but they deserve to be remembered.

Story 2 is just a nightmare, even if the Carbon Monoxide dosnt kill you, youre probably injured, in a pitch black maze & where if it's not impossible to see; if deadly hot & toxic with there being truly no way out.

@StephanieElizabethMann 2 месяца назад

Yes please continue with these videos. The disregard for the safety of workers and citizens is challenging but needs to be remembered. Even the queen said sometime later that she regretted not going to Aberfan earlier than she did.

Definitely on board for more disasters! My feed is clogged up enough with cave exploring gone wrong that this was a nice new change. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the cave disasters, it's just nice to have some variety in there. Thank you for posting!

How can you "enjoy" a cave disaster. I doubt the victims family enjoys them.

To anyone wondering what happened to the Gresbury mine, it closed in 1973 because Britain was going into a recession due to OPEC. The mine today sits abandoned on private property whilst a memorial with a preserved mine wheel incorporated into it sits nearby. The area where the 266 bodies lie was sealed with dynamite due to the fact the mine being a gravesite.
